Likewise - my stats are quite similar with a slightly higher ACT score and GPA. I’m hoping for a positive answer tomorrow.
@Frogf1sh , @Ctesiphon , @KatherynP I found out through email on Friday. Good luck everyone! Let’s hope tomorrow is the day!
I have had a pretty bizarre series of decisions thus far.
First I was accepted to Kenyon, then rejected from Pomona, then waitlisted at Davidson, then rejected from Oberlin, then waitlisted at Michigan, then accepted to Haverford.
I’m still waiting on Reed, Tufts, and Columbia.
If I get into Reed, I will think long and hard about going, but I would not be surprised if I were rejected with the topsy-turvy nature of my decisions so far.
I’m a male from Ohio with a 4.2W GPA, toughest possible courseload (9 APs and 8 honors classes), no idea what my class rank is, 34 ACT, and only one decent EC (a weeklong summer program at St John’s College in Annapolis). Wrote some good essays and got two sterling recs.
What the hell. College admissions are weird.
Hope to hear soon from Reed.
Congratulations to all who have been accepted already.
This is a very random and unhelpful question but - hey admitted folks, did you all receive the email from Reed? The: It’s Friday and we’re in love" thing? I just want to make sure that that email doesn’t mean acceptance, haha.
Congrats to all people who got in! And good luck to waiting people, including me. 
My stats are pretty average, 4.0+, 2000 SAT. Looking through this thread and the 2018 one, I’ve seen people with higher and lower admitted. If Reed truly doesn’t place heavy emphasis on academics, then I guess it doesn’t matter a whole lot, which is what’s making the wait so nerve racking: it could go either way for anyone and you won’t know until you know.
Anyone ever got in with a crappy Why Reed essay? I didn’t know I loved Reed until long after I submitted my application 
I have a 2160 sat, a 4.0 unweighted gpa, great recs, great recs, great story in my essay… And a good Reed essay too… Do u think I have a chance at Reed? Surprisingly I have been rejected from most of my colleges…
I’m an international
And I haven’t received the It’s Friday and we r in love email…
My daughter has not heard from Reed yet either. She was also rejected from Oberlin and waitlisted at Haverford but accepted to Rice! SAT 2160, GPA 3.94. I thought it was just her who hadn’t heard yet. She had real trouble having them acknowledge that they got the transcript. Accepted Smith, Rice, Grinnell, Emory Oxford, Brandeis, Colgate; waitlisted Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Wellesley; rejected Middlebury, Oberlin, Claremont, Amherst, Bowdoin. She hasn’t heard a peep from Reed.
@rotckid my Reed essay I thought was terrible, and I was accepted. I wrote about shoes, comparing a shoe store to the picking out of colleges. Maybe the essays don’t matter that much… or maybe they like quirk? Idk but good luck dudes
i am so stressed out now…reed is my favorite college
and i havent yet received any email

@brooklynilene @Cascadian425 Congratulations to both of you! Those were some impressive resumes. Just wanna check, you guys were admitted last Friday right?
@acuodancer - Thanks. Yes, Friday just after 8 p.m. EDT.
Despite my son’s “impressive resume,” imagine his shock and disappointment in December at the outright ED rejection at Cornell - and his dad is an alumnus who interviews prospective students for Cornell! Fortunately he has some good choices now. This ended well, but the process will suck the life out of most parents, if not the kids. It really was 100x easier “back in the day.”
Outright rejection?? … Ivies and their randomness
Please did anyone call the admission office today?
@brooklynilene I get you there. I have just been through this life-sucking process myself. Plus I have a friend who applied to about 20 schools a few years back. He got admitted only two, and one of them was Harvard.
That’s why I like to keep hopes my up. Good luck to all the other people here waiting for Reed’s response like me.
If you want to know why it seems random that you get admitted to one school and not another, have a look at http://www.universitybusiness.com/article/admissions-messages-vs-admissions-realities, applicable to all selective schools, not just Reed.
Has anyone heard anything today? I’m really worried that not getting an email Friday means we didn’t get in.
